This invention relates to mattresses and to i the method of making thesame, an object being to provide a mattress wherein the edge rolls, which are separately formed, are secured to the opposite edges of a strip andthe latter attached to the mattress springs with the rolls housed Within the cover before the latter is closed, insteadof forming the rolls upon the edges or corners of the mattress after the cover is closed. This reduces the time andlabor required for making a mattress, and results in an improved product, and in addition provides a mattress of improved appearance.

With the above and other objects in View,

' the invention further includes the following novel features and details of construction, to be hereinafter more fully described,

illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a fragmentary plan viewshow ing one corner of a mattress constructed in accordance with the invention.

Figure 2 is an enlarged section on the line 2-2 of Figure 1. I, V Figure 3 is a sectional view taken through one edge of the mattress before the upper'and lower pads and mattress cover are applied.

Figure 4 is a fragmentary elevation of the subject matter of Figure 3. H Referring to the drawings in detail wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts, themattress as shown in cludes a plurality of spiral springs 10, which,

as is usual in mattresses of this type are enclosed in fabric coverings 11. are arranged in rows between upper and lower pads 12 and 13 respectively, while a cover 14 encloses the springs and pads and this cover may be quilted as shown at 15.

Usually, in mattresses .of this charactera roll is formed along the edgesor' corners of the mattress by stitching through adjacent portions of the top and sides of the mattress. This method of formingv the roll has many disadvantages, in the principal disadvantage These springs 192a. Serial- No. 374,600.

overcome in the present invention by providing a fabric strip 16 which carries at its-op-* posite'edges rolls 17. These rolls are formed of fabric covered felt 18 or other suitable material which encloses a Wire or other stiff: 55., ening rod 19. A wire or sti'ifening rod 20 is ,7 enclosed by thefabric strip adjacent the rolls The springs 10 are arranged'between. the pads 12 and 13. c The side and endistrips 16- l are attached to the outermost row of springs as by stitches 23 and a thinpad of, felt jor' other material 24 is placed around'the strip 16. The rolls 17 are folde'dlinward upon the springs along the edges ofthe pads 12 and 13 and the top, bottom and sides of thecover are secured together and. taped as shown at I 25. The rolls 17 are thus enclosed within the niattresscover. r
